During the fall of 2018, the long-time president of the University of South Carolina (UofSC), an eight-campus system serving over 50,000 students, announced his retirement the following year. With his announcement came the realization that new leadership would need a clear snapshot of strategic improvement opportunities in order to succeed – and that the current siloed data systems weren’t going to supply sufficient insights.
Revamping their data systems and capabilities was step one, with the end goal of improving data self-service and making operational reporting more efficient. To accomplish this rapid transformation, UofSC partnered with HelioCampus. Read the case study to learn how they did this, including how they were able to quickly pivot to assess LMS data when the pandemic hit.
"When we were looking for a partner, we wanted to find someone who was profoundly oriented to higher education,” Kelly says. When an initial staff survey reported 100% buy-in for HelioCampus, Kelly knew they were on the right track.
